Finally getting around to painting my office again. And even getting a little help.

Love getting packages in the mail for things I forgot I ordered: The GameDevBizBook.com

🌈

Storage containers for all your space-rave cat accessories :P

Wrapping my head around some more openGL blend function combos. And figured it was overdue for these to have some open/close anims too.

Classing up the joint with some wooden floor tiles.

Making the buggie/vehicles in #mewnbase run on batteries that need to be recharged back at the garage every so often.

Mmmm picked a good day to make beef stew for dinner. 👌

Hi #MeetTheDev - I'm Steve, working as a 2D/UI artist in games for the past 10 years.

Currently UX director at HitPoint Inc., and in the evenings creator of the indie space-cat game #MewnBase 😺 https://cairn4.itch.io/mewnbase

Worked a bunch on refactoring vehicle stuff today, supporting multiple vehicle types, making their data/stats provided by a json data file. And also added this... 😺 Wooo box2d joints.

Worked more last night on trees that are able to be grown from seeds, and some improved inventory item tool tip UI.

Soon.

Writing store-page descriptions and marketing copy for my own games sometimes feels like one of the hardest things to do.

When the coffee hasn't finished brewing before your morning standup meeting starts 😩

Worked on adding a lower-tech, outdoor garden patch last night in #mewnbase. #gamedev

Finally. Last night was the first good night of sleep I've had in at least a week. 😴

Finally made an TextButton sub class that auto-scales its label to fit inside 🙃

Although now some buttons have smaller text than others... still better than the text totally spilling out and overlapping the edges imo

Uploaded MewnBase v0.45 last night!

Certain plants and ice will now regen over time. Improved and fixed some airlock issues. And some other nice bugfixes.
